SPECIAL SAFETY MEASURES
!
Make sure that the water level is between the
minimum and maximum level before turning
the kettle on. Do not overfill the kettle; other-
wise it can overflow while boiling. Please, re-
member that the minimum water level should
be higher than the minimum allowed level.
!
Do not touch the hot surfaces of the appliance. Do not touch the
outer surfaces of the kettle with the exception of the heat insulated
handle, when water is boiling or with hot water inside the device.
!
Before cleaning or storing disconnect the kettle from the mains
supply and wait till it cools completely.
!
The appliance should always be placed on and used on a heat
resistant, horizontal and dry surface.
!
To avoid being burnt by hot vapor always close the lid tightly
before use. Avoid exposure to hot vapor.
WARNING! Never
open the lid immediately before or after boiling tem-
perature is reached
.
!
The kettle is protected against overheating and if switched on without
water, an automatic safety cut out device will switch it off. If the safety
device is activated, allow the kettle to cool down prior to boiling water
in it. The kettle will not switch on if it’s too hot.
WARNING! Fre-
quent switching the kettle on without water might result
in the safety device failure, that is why prior to switching
the kettle on always check the water level. Always make
sure the water level in the kettle is not too low.
!
Always switch the kettle off prior to lifting it from the base.
!
Use the kettle only with the supplied base.
!
Do not fill a hot kettle with cold water or vice versa. WARN-
ING! Avoid sharp temperature fluctuations when fill-
ing the kettle with water.
!
Connect the device only to an electrical supply with a protective
earthing. If your socket has no protective earthing, contact a
qualified specialist. Do not modify the plug and do not use cord
adapters.
WARNING! Electric shocks might occur if the
kettle is plugged into an unearthed power supply.
!
Clean the heating element of the kettle often to de-scale it.
Remember that use of a heavily scaled kettle might result in its
malfunction.
WARNING! De-scale the kettle using only
specially designed cleaning agents.
!
Before turning the kettle on, make sure that the lid is closed;
otherwise the kettle will not turn off after boiling.
!
After use of the appliance, the base of the kettle might be wet.
It is a normal condition of operation, caused by escaping steam,
used to activate the kettle’s automatic turning off function.
!
Do not tilt the filled kettle backwards, since water can spill
through the steam vent. If this happens, the kettle should be
wiped before turning it on.
!
Do not take the electric cord out of the socket during operation
of the appliance. You should first turn it off.
